The National Business and Technical Examinations Board - NABTEB has made public on the plans of the board to roll out new innovations on the board registration and conduct of examination as from the 2018 November/December Examinations.According to the Board the Objectives of the innovation are to make registration for
NABTEB Examinations easier, and free of human manipulation.

1. Candidates shall make payment online, where they will choose their preferred Examination Centre.

2. Approved and registered Examination Centres (ECs) shall be uploaded on a new NABTEB website: www.nabteb.gov.ng.
One requirement is that the centres should have facilities for bio-metric capture (A unique Access Code shall be given to them, and an
agreed percentage shall be paid to them).

3. Look out for more innovations, including CBT to replace Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) format from next year.

With the above newly introduced registration procedures candidates will be protected from extortion from examination centers. For example, if a candidate is threatened with extortion at an EC, where they go for biometric capture, they can simply go back to NABTEB portal and replace the EC within a time window, and give reasons, which could lead to de-listing of the EC. NABTEB staff must not have physical contact with NABTEB money.
